My biggest observation of the game is thus:

Whittingham and Ludwig demonstrated that they have coached in some big games, with some very good coahes ... their experience in managing a big rivalry game was markedly superior to that of BYU's staff.

Bronco and Anae are very good 'inexperienced' coaches who have not had those same expereinces to draw upon ... they were out-coached despite having the momentum, the two teams talent wise are a wash.

All this being said, I would rather have Anae over Ludwig -I hope Ludwig coaches the utes for some time to come :wink: And yes I would rather have Bronco, for the simple reason that he chose to hire Anae whereas his counterpart in SLC chose to bring in Ludwig (Ute fans should note that I watched nearly evry Utah game that was on Gameplan)

Overall I am pleased with this season, and yes there is a marked difference in the play of this team from the sad years under Crowton.

to be honest, I place much of the blame for some of this teams woes this season on the shoulders of Beck, while recognizing that a first year OC made the mistake of putting games in Beck's hands to begin with.

Oh, and we can't forget fielding, quite possibly, the worst corners in the history of Div I college football!
